In-reply-to: Your message of Mon, 10 Jan 2000 20:57:10 -0800. <20000110205710.D98651@relay.nuxi.com> Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2000 12:07:24 +0100 From: Jaap Akkerhuis Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG And the triva question is why was there 1BSD, 2BSD, 3BSD, and then the switch to 4.0BSD - 4.4BSD. As far as I remember, 1BSD was v6 stuff only BSD internal distributions (and good friends) with Pascal & ex; 2BSD was for v7 licences with csh (job control) and vi; 3BSD for v32 licences and virtual memory for the VAX and with 4BSD FFS was introduced, lisp and for DARPA later on networking stuff in 4.1c. Something like that. jaap To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
